Q & A
What is Tubular Battery?
Tubular Battery- A tubular battery is a lead-acid battery that is generally big in size when compared to a flat plate battery.
What is the advantage of tubular batteries?
With less positive plate shedding, tubular batteries also provide up to a 30% longer service life than flat plate batteries. In addition, battery engineers in Europe attest that tubular cells are more widely used because they deliver energy at a faster rate.
How do I know if my tubular battery?
The positive plate is critical and decays as time passes. In tubular battery positive plate is replaced with a tube made of cloth and coated well, hence the name tubular.
Does tubular battery need distilled water?
Always top up the battery with distilled water. Do not use tap water or rain water as it contains excess minerals and impurities which affect the life and performance of the battery.
What is tubular battery in inverter?
A tubular battery uses technology that seals the active material in polyester tubes called gauntlets, instead of pasting it on the surface of the plate. As a result, there's no shedding or corrosion, ensuring long battery life.
How long does tubular battery last?
around 3 to 5 years
Inverter batteries get damaged easily.Flat plate battery life is around 3 years and Tubular battery lifespan is around 3 to 5 years.
Are tubular batteries maintenance free?
Tubular batteries are recommended to backup UPS and Inverters where environmental conditions are tough and ambient temperatures are common. These are capable of long hours of backup and the life period is around five years. ... Maintenance free batteries come in Flat plate collectors and are totally maintenance free.
How do you increase tubular battery life?
Keep rust away from the Battery
Do not verload the Battery
Use Energy saving Appliances & gadgets.
Check water level frequently
Change battery when needed
